And that's the crux of the issue. I bet I know what Nintendo wants: A Switch game. They practically need one if they plan it to replace the 3DS family. But what does GameFreak want? If they refuse to develop for the Switch, there's not exactly much Nintendo can do to force them. And Nintendo...

Yes. Pokemon Stadium and its sequel. Nintendo fixed that later on by intentionally designing both handheld and console to communicate directly. Something that, as far as we know, hasn't been done with the Switch and 3DS family. Of course, we also don't know the Switch hasn't been designed for...

I could actually see them using a special accessory for this. They've done it before with spin-off games, and it worked well. Doing it for a main series game would be a major selling point for those who have the portable games, and wouldn't detract anything from those who don't.

Well, to be fair, 90% of the time if you see a $100 bill laying around in some random location, it's a trick of some sort. So, it usually isn't worth bending over to try to pick one up. But, yeah, I could be wrong. Probably am. It's pure speculation unless they outright tell us definitely.

Two people commented on the issue and that they question why it hadn't been done yet. I provided a possible reason. A reason also possible for why they won't do it if it turns out they don't. I never stated it was the definite reason.

Here's a better question for you: Is it out of character for Nintendo to make a decision that dumb with a franchise they have ownership over?

In pure units sold, Red and Blue virtual console releases were the worst-performing main-series games ever released. Yeah, every sale was pretty much pure profit, but they also were not even remotely popular as a release. So it's entirely possible that they're not doing it because one part of...

I'm still giving them until August, so there's a few months left.

The N64DD, Virtual Boy, and Wii U all reveal how well Nintendo handles careful planning at times. It is something that can be decided in a day. Companies make decisions in a day on this scale and bigger all of the time. Implementation is usually the lengthy process. But a variant 2DS? They...

This is Nintendo. Such decisions can, and have, changed overnight. Sometimes literally. Just ask Sony about it. The Playstation wouldn't even exist if Nintendo hadn't jerked them around on developing the N64DD. But what is most likely is that we're both wrong. That wouldn't surprise me with...

Simple: They didn't originally plan to maintain a separate handheld line. Something in the sales figures, probably in Japan, forced them to.

Pretty much, what Silktree said. It also will likely limit the long-term sales of the Switch, since portability is extremely important to the Japanese gaming market. Meaning that if Nintendo simply can't make a smaller model, they will need to pretty much treat it as a pure home console and...

The last time GF did any game on a Nintendo main console, it was the SNES. So, I have to agree there's no way the next Pokemon game from GF is a console game unless they're just going ahead with a new generation.

The Switch won't go the way of the Wii U. Nintendo has too much invested in it. But now, I am beginning to wonder if, maybe, the portable aspect of the Switch was oversold or seriously exaggerated. I mean, why continue a handheld system when you have a hybrid system that can do the same job better?

Whoops! That's what I get for skimming the thread.

This, right here, is why I find Nintendo continuing the 3DS family to be so odd. The only possible big-name game the system could have to make it even worth the effort would be Pokemon. And Nintendo has proven willingness to simply stop all development for a handheld that is still doing well...

Some information for speculation: Game Freak's total job openings.

Note: I had a post here, but someone reminded me this was already discussed to death and I'm rehashing a point that went nowhere. My apologies. I need to control that tendency of mine to argue something to death a lot better.

I did read the article. Now tell me: Where in the article does it say their sources said it was a third game in the main series? They also admit elsewhere the game has been delayed according to those sources, but then state they believe it'll be still released in 2017. And, you're right... I am...
